that the building was ca fire, and Mr..

pending the arrival Of The FIRE

entered the house. The fire WAS by this
time blazing up merrily, eating through
the shelving, and large pile OF coTSets,
and sundry other articles Of female apparel
and aGorpment were sharing TIE fate Of
the adjoining wood work. Those present al
once set themselves energetiCally to work
to put out the DIRE, aRa while some re-

tinguisLed. ! little investigation by
Chief banning showed that the fire was
the.resuit of defective tue, which ran
up the wall from 8 furnace in the cellar,
and it had evidently been smoldsring for
a long time. Had it broken out two or
three hours later in the night the result
RiSi4i very easily have been disastrous, as
the torn-up condition of Main street at
this point must have impedeG the fremen
very much. As it is, the loss VIII 'fall an

The experience of last night showed the
great value Of the abcOck fire extinguishefs
and gave those pressnI an inkling Of what
value regular chemical engine would be,
A stream of water turned into Mr.. Tay-

and necessitate their removal to their
homes, while those whose constitutions en-
abled them to stand it felt very pale"
as they went about their accus-
toned labors. The intolerable
stencil came trcm tie upper poin.

come that the men sent committees 10 wait

ened to quit work and close down the
mills if remedy was not speedily found.
Telephone messages were sent TO the City
Hall in this city, and members of Council
hotiGed Of the trouble, and doubtless the
health authorities will look into the mat
ter to-day.
